General description

N-Methyl-D-glucamine (Meglumine) is a sorbitol derivative in which one of the hydroxyl groups has been replaced with a methylamino group. Meglumine is widely used with iodinated organic compounds as a contrast media.

Application

N-Methyl-D-glucamine can be used as a co-crystal conformer as well as a salt-forming agent due to its hydrophilic nature and ability to modify the crystalline structure of the drug molecule to improve solubility.
It is also used to functionalize polymers and resins to develop chelating agents for the removal of boron and arsenic from wastewater.
A versatile reagent used in the resolution of racemates and the preparation of amides.
